Ghanaian international midfielder Michael Essien made an impressive return to the Chelsea first eleven against Juventus in the Champions League 2nd leg. Essien netted Chelsea's first goal in the 2-2 draw in Turin that saw Chelsea advance to the Quarterfinals. Essien helped the Blues get the all important away goal in Turin and despite falling 2-1 behind, a goal by Didier Drogba-in keeping with his rich vein of form, wrapped up the contest for Chelsea as they went up 3-2 on aggregate. Chelsea's interim manager Guus Hiddink was full of praise for his two goalscorers.
“He’s very important, how he’s showing his commitment and how he’s always busy,” Hiddink said. “He doesn’t give you an easy night as a central defender. He’s doing very well. For the second goal he came just ahead of his marker — that’s a sign that he is sharp.” Hiddink said of Drogba.
